ABOUT THE ILLINOIS RESOURCE CENTER Since 1972, the Illinois Resource Center (IRC) has provided assistance to educators serving linguistically and culturally diverse students. With support from the Illinois State Board of Education, the IRC has emerged as a major statewide intermediate service agency, and its educational and professional development programs have helped thousands of educators throughout Illinois and the nation to develop effective learning environments for English Learners (ELs). OUR PHILOSOPHY Quality education is maximized when there is a well-integrated system in which every stakeholder shares the responsibility for the social-emotional well-being and academic success of all students. OUR MISSION The IRC strives to enhance teaching and learning for English Learners. OUR GOALS The IRC supports a systems approach to the education of English Learners which involves accessing and maximizing all available resources with the goal of creating effective learning environments. In this system, the components of standards, assessment, program design, curriculum and instruction are inter-related, as shown in the accompanying graphic. The system evolves and improves over time through research-based professional development and evaluation of services. This system also relies on a variety of resources including human, fiscal, physical, linguistic and cultural assets. Applied together, the components, resources, and supports create a synergy that promotes optimal teaching and learning for ELs. 1

The application process is online only, found at the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) website under Educator Licensure, www.isbe.net/ilis/ Also as of June 30, 2013 ISBE no longer issues approvals and will convert all existing approvals to endorsements.

COURSE REGISTRATION Terms and Policies BILINGUAL AND ESL ENDORSEMENT COURSES General Information The Illinois Resource Center, in conjunction with National Louis University (NLU), offers a comprehensive package of specialized graduate courses which can be applied toward partial fulfillment of the requirements for bilingual and ESL teacher endorsement. Graduate credit for course work is provided by NLU. LOCATION: COST: Courses will be held at the Illinois Resource Center, 2626 S. Clearbrook Drive, Arlington Heights, unless otherwise noted. $615.00 for 3 graduate credit hours per course. Clinical hours are included in each course. TEXTBOOKS: Students are responsible for purchasing their own textbook(s). Students will receive a registration confirmation letter four weeks prior to the first class session, which will specify which book(s) to purchase. FAQS: NOTE: Answers to many questions can be found at: www.thecenterweb.org/irc/pages/f_courses.html Be advised that most IRC courses assume some prior experience using internet tools. In many instances, course resources are provided through web-based blackboards, and student assignments are submitted electronically. IRC Attendance Policy These Bilingual and ESL endorsement courses are graduate level courses with the expectation that students will attend all classes promptly. It is highly recommended that you make every effort to attend the first class of any course sequence as the general scope of the course/clinical dates/ assignments are outlined in the syllabus distributed at this first session. In order to avoid a conflict with regard to attending the first session, please check your school calendar before registering for a specific course. (Conflicts due to national or religious holidays may be resolved with an instructor.) Should there be an issue pertaining to non-attendance at any class session, it will be the student s responsibility to obtain any missed information. For evening classes, one absence (half-day for all-day classes) with an acceptable excuse is permitted, but two missed classes (one day for all-day classes) will cause the student s grade to be lowered one letter and after a third absence the student must withdraw from the course. Significant lateness will accumulate as an absence as well. Should a student need to withdraw/drop a course, the request must be submitted in writing. Please note that in cases of bad weather, TV/radio/website announcements regarding National Louis University may not apply to IRC classes. Please call the IRC directly for possible class cancellations. This information will also be posted on the IRC website. Saturday class participants should contact their instructor directly. IRC Registration and Payment Policy Registration deadline is 4 weeks prior to the starting date of each course based on space availability. Because of limited enrollment policies, registration will be taken on a first come, first served basis. If you have missed the deadline, you must call the IRC prior to mailing a registration form to ensure space is available. Please note that, once you attempt to register either through the mail or online, your payment will be automatically processed. If in the event that a course is closed and your payment has been processed, you will be refunded the full amount within 30 days. Registration for Fall courses must be paid in full. Registration for other semesters must be accompanied by a $75.00 nonrefundable deposit per course. Deposits cannot be applied toward any other courses in the event of cancellation by the participant. After the second session of the course, there will be NO tuition refunds. The remaining tuition balance (minus deposit) must be paid no later than four weeks prior to the course starting date. If full payment has not been received four weeks prior to the start date of the course, a student will be dropped from the class roster in order to accommodate others who may be on the waiting list. Please note that the IRC will forward registrations to National Louis University after the first class meeting of each course. Online registration is available. We encourage you to register online at www.thecenterweb.org/irc if you plan to pay using your personal credit card and the credit card billing address is the same as your home address (note the card name must be in the name of the student registering for a course). Payment information: For payment by check ONLY, mail to The Center/Illinois Resource Center, P.O. Box 408379, Chicago, IL 60640-0010. Credit card payments may also be mailed to The Center/IRC, 2626 S. Clearbrook Dr., Arlington Heights, IL 60005. The IRC reserves the right to cancel a course due to low enrollment.
